SPORTIME Bethpage Tennis

Players highlight the excellent and knowledgeable coaching staff with many positive mentions, including coaches Simon, Maria Kinalis, Coach Wael, Jeffery, Carla, and Mike who also runs pickleball programs. There are numerous group lessons, private lessons, clinics, and specific programs like 'Everything In the Air'. Coaches are described as patient, caring, and skilled at improving players' skills.

Multiple reviews praise the junior tennis programs, including lessons, camps, and youth group sessions. Kids reportedly enjoy the engaging tennis pros and the camps, which help foster a love for tennis and skill improvement. Maria and her team are specifically recommended for youth instruction.

Booking is described as challenging, with complaints about limited court availability and a cumbersome system requiring calls an hour in advance rather than online booking. Membership is necessary for court time access, but courts are often fully booked, creating frustration. However, staff are reported as willing to help and try to accommodate when possible.

The club atmosphere is very welcoming and family-like, with players feeling like part of a tennis community. Staff and front desk personnel are praised as friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Members range from beginners to experienced competitive players, all contributing to a positive vibe.

Courts are described as clean, well-maintained, and with fresh balls always provided. Lighting is available for evening play, though some find the automatic lighting to be annoying when courts are empty. The surface is hard courts, and the facility includes multiple well-kept courts appropriate for both tennis and pickleball.

Membership fees are mentioned as a downside by some, especially because junior members pay either $10 or $29 monthly fees depending on age, which some players feel is high compared to court time availability. Courts may feel overpriced to some, but the quality of courts and programs justifies value for others.
